Unreal Engine Composition and Lighting Exploration
This project started in March 2022, when I was asked to design a 3D model of NFTY Network’s cryptocurrency. I began by sketching the concept of the coin, which I later modeled in Blender and textured in Substance Painter to give it a highly realistic metallic finish.
A few months later, in June 2022, I revisited the project with a new goal: to explore composition and lighting inside Unreal Engine. I animated the coin in a custom scene with iridescent colors, metallic highlights, and subtle bloom effects to really push the visuals. The focus was to experiment with how digital assets can be presented in a more dynamic and cinematic way.
This project was a great chance to mix technical precision with creative exploration, turning a simple 3D model into something visually striking and full of energy.
I hope you like it as much as I do!
This is the sketch of the coin, with which I started the project.
Thanks a lot for checking out this project!
